It would be a monster if it were in a 3 gallon pot. You are doing better than i did. She is a beaut!

Thanks man! So far this auto grow has been really fun.
Hahahaha right on! That's exactly what I was trying to prevent. My small nursery wouldn't be able to handle a 3gal auto..... That being said I can't wait to throw an auto in a big pot to see what happens. Maybe I'll try a few outside this season:D

You can do what I did and flip your auto at any point by going 12/12.
My auto flipped right on time with the photos and is finishing right alongside them
I'm not sure if it has been done or talked about. But I did it on my purple haze and the proof is there.
Maybe you could further the research by verifying the same results are reproducible?

I did notice you did that. I thought that was very interesting because I was under the assumption they flower only based on age and root restriction from differences in container size but not from a change in light cycle typically. hmmmmmm things to consider here indeed. Some auto's I've seen lately have done interesting things. Much like @EventHorizan and his cray cray lol.

The way I see it is autos also have photo genes mixed in. So one could assume it could switch on it's photo genes when needed in a specific environment.

That's a great point to consider. Got me thinking now. You're a crafty one R! Now that I think about it I have heard of auto's that ended up not flowering under 18/6. Possibly due to a higher amount of photo genes mixed in? The world of autos hahahaha. Very cool.

Dude it really really scared me! :drunk:I constantly questioned if it was a good idea to run this Think Different in my nursery section. I knew it had the possibility to destroy everything in its wake. Fortunately I got a nice cute one lol.

hahaha!
Here she is brotha. I only posted her a page back but I copied the link location for you so you can check out her new sexy curve without another click. I LST'd her last night! Time to see what these t5's can do! I don't remember the last time I changed the lamps and it's been quite some time. I'm sure they are probably not running at max efficiency anymore.

Day 47
Little Think Different is putting out some nice trichs and smells like tropical fruit in a way. I'm starting to like these genes more and more. I hear they have a photoperiod variant :D. Well we'll see how things finish up first before I grab some more beans.
Main top that was LST'd
One of the flower sites that are getting much more light due to the LST. I feel with T5's training is mandatory if you want to truly utilize them as they don't have the penetration an HPS or COB has. They sure do awesome in tight spaces though. Love em.

Skipped several posts. But interesting talk about the autos. I wonder if there is a fail safe kill switch that triggers flower regardless of light period. But going 12/12 prior to the fail save being activated will override and cause it to flower.

That was put into words very well. I wonder the exact same thing.

Day 49
To think it's only been 49 days(7 weeks) since I dropped her in a moist paper towel. Supposedly Think Different goes for about 10-11 weeks so we'll see. They grow up so fast:cry:. She's still sitting at 1.0EC(500ppm) ph 5.8
I love the tropical aromas coming from her. The flowers are starting to get larger. This is cool.

She's coming along now! Really nice color on her, I'll have to look up the lineage real quick as I'm curious now. 60% sativa, nice! AK 47 crossed with n unknown strain...some mystery to the mix lol can't wait to see her finish

That high sativa percentage is one reason why I wanted to check her out! To be able to achieve good sativa influenced flowers in a fraction of the time because of the autoflowering genes sounded awesome to me. I really love the tropical fruit smell. I have 3 more If I'm not mistaken. When I run them I want to put them in a much larger container to really max out its potential. Auto's don't like restricted roots If I recall correctly and end up vegging for less time.
I would also like to visit the Think Fast version at some point. It is the photoperiod variant. It requires 12/12 but supposedly finishes flower in 8 weeks which would be amazingly fast for a sativa dominant hybrid.

My auto was small, i think i stunted it by poor techniques. I up potted it twice and didn't give it enough light at first. If I do another auto I know to start it in the final pot and my light situation is fixed now. The cannalope haze i have is supposed to be a fast sativa. She has an intoxicating fermented fruit smell. They say its an 8 weeker but it looks like it will be 10. Really wish she didn't herm on me, shes fattening up real nice and smells amazing.

That cannaloupe haze sounds amazing with those aromas! I've been wanting to run it, but then again what don't I want to run lol.
Ya you got it right man the transplants just kill autflowers size as the roots stress out. Final container from the start is definitely preferred. If I put small plants/seeds in containers much larger than they need at first I don't water till runoff. Just water a bit in a circle close to them once a day and slowly saturate the medium till they get a little bigger. That way I water more often to renew oxygen levels without wasting an unnecessarily huge amount of water at first that the little seedling/clone won't even use.
